Family Day

On behalf of the entire Wilkes University Community, it is our pleasure to invite
you to attend Family Day 2019, scheduled for Saturday, September 14, 2019.

Family Day is an annual fall tradition held on the Wilkes campus, providing an opportunity
for families to reconnect with their student while getting a first-hand look into
a day in the life at Wilkes! The weekend will afford you many opportunities to spend
time together as a family, as well as to meet faculty, staff, administrators, friends,
and other families.
